The bread is the likely candidate it clumps and creates a dough ball. No Bueno! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Concentrate on staying hydrated and getting fluids in...then Protein at least the first several days to week. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

That's not a good idea. Does your Dr. Know about your binging? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I'm a few weeks out and had a glass of Coke Zero. No effects but that's not to say that many people don't have discomfort. The caffeine acts as a diuretic. Make sure you are getting all your liquids in. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

My Dr compared energy levels of a new Bariatric patient to a puppy... burst of energy but needs to sleep a lot. Day 6 for me and it's looking up. Best of luck. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Chapstick, toothbrush, toothpaste and hair ties. I used all their stuff. And when I wasn't sleeping I was walking. You won't need anything. I brought ipad, a book, cell phone, didn't use em. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Nausea can also be a sign of dehydration. Make sure you get plenty of fluids Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I feel like that now and I am pre op on the liquid diet Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

nectar are good. And I got some stuff off of this site expensive but pretty good little treats here and there Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Perhaps some tomato Soup if that is allowed per your doctor recommended diet? Some of those are low in calories, but I don't know about sugar/carbs/fat. Definitely check with your nutritionist. I'm sure they hear that question a lot. Sent From BariatricPal App She and I have the same Dr. It's Protein shakes, h2o, broth, Jello and popsicles. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

When I asked if it was true that bariatric patients lose weight differently he said yes, pear shape is more likely, and he also said "you will look pretty awkward the first year". Ahhh! I wouldn't considered myself vain but.... come on awkward?!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Congrats! I hate this liquid diet. I'm turning into a crybaby! I can see that I will probably be rather emotional after surgery. Ugh Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App did it go? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you @@Tina1969 Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Appt was fine. Dr v just tells you what to expect. We go the day before surgery to hospital pre op. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

On day 3 liquid diet see dr v tomorrow for pre op. Do you know what we do at that appointment? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Easy enough! Sort the beans for stones and skins, rinse well and soak over night in cold Water. The next morning, remove any floaters and rinse the beans well. In the bottom of a pot, fry up some chopped bacon, chopped garlic and diced onion onions. Pour in the drained beans and fill pot with half water, half chicken stock. Simmer beans until tender. (If you have a ham bone, throw that in there for sure!) I add seasonings, but I go by sight, not by measurements. A generous amount of cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic powder goes in the pot once the water is hot enough to dissolve it all. I adjust the spices according to the taste of the broth, so I am no help there. I do skim the fat off the top of the soup as it cooks out. We usually eat half the beans as soup and the other half I drain completely and mash. I fry them up in a bit of oil, with cheese, and you'll have excellent refried beans. Add sour cream, salsa verde, avocado... YUM! thank you. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I liked the idea of sifting through the Beans for stones. I'll grab some and try...someday. And forgive me I'm on day3 pre op liquid diet, just a tad emotional and defensive Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Go to Trader Joes. Buy a can of their refried black Beans. Open. Add cheese. Heat. i can also just use my friend google. Nvmd Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I am not Hispanic but would love a good refried bean recipe for after! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I'm on day three... I'm emotional. Cried about manicotti last night I don't even care for it. I see the surgeon tomorrow for pre op appointment. Best of luck and prayers to all my porky comrades. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
